The Best Beards and Moustaches in the World

Which is your favorite??
Filmed on location at the World Beard and Moustache Championships in Anchorage, Alaska - 2009
We also made a longer documentary about our trip here:
• Alaskan Whaler
The World Beard and Moustache Championships are held every two years. The 2011 WBMC will be hosted in Trondheim, Norway and the 2013 WBMC is set to be hosted in Leinfelden, Germany.
Many thanks to all the wonderful and interesting people involved, and our hosts the South Central Alaska Beard and Moustache Club.

11 disliked are probably those who cannot grow beard....

[@treebeard9352]

1:18 is the best beard I've ever seen hands down

[@repDE420]

Super bushy mustache. Look up Madison Rowleys beard,

[@pwfisher]

This is riveting. These beards are so expressive, you feel like you already know the personality behind them.

[@usercide]

So much beauty. I love the variety of faces, beards and moustaches. Truly handsome and unique individuals!

[@BellyBoy86]

These men all look so regal and majestic, that's what a great beard/moustache can do for a man.

[@daytonaxe3865]

2:10 Wait a minute.. STOP IMPOSTER!

[@embracethetiger]

Truly inspiring. The woven beard at 2:53 is pure artistry.

[@sabresister]

This video reminds me that the world is full of so many wonderful things.

[@MoustacheCloud]

Hope for the world is restored.

[@abstract35mm_]

I dont think too many black people know about this event or even know about the sport of bearding for that matter.. As a black man I feel its my duty to bring more light to the sport. I'm 3 months in so far.. Watch yo back lol :)

[@BRBgonetopee]

The best part is that they don't seem snobbish, they're just some chill guys wanting to have some fun

[@royston1433]

This is so cool!

[@brandell4638]

Thanks for the great editing of this- some other vids by people are agonizing to get thru.

[@NobleS1236]

So glorious.

[@bilkrimson]

Love the music

[@alaskarobotics]

@embracethetiger The woven snow shoe beard is David Traver, he placed first in the full beard freestyle category and was first in the overall competition. He was also part of the hosting team in Anchorage and was really accommodating when we were up there.

[@xmissjemx]

Some of these guys would look wonky without a beard, but they're all so beautiful with them! I love it!

[@Targetnr1]

Inspiring!

[@NoahSweeneyMLA]

World class!

[@EricMcNugget]

1:18 it's so fluffy I'm gonna DIE!

[@jaklm4221]

Bavarian grandpa has fluffiest beard in eternam

[@johnhunter7386]

Please tell me there wasn't a swimsuit portion to this competition 😂

[@kkk345ify]

im glad to be a man

[@jimihenrik11]

my favorite was in 1:01, a nice full beard with exact trimming and a good volume.

[@haradin1337]

I should really stop this and study for tomorrow..

[@SkinnedLynryd]

1:23 I wonder if he walks around looking like Captain Morgan every day? What must his life be like haha

[@KohanKilletz]

May the Gods bless and watch over all of those righteous beards.

[@alaskarobotics]

Was he at the 2009 WBMC? We missed a few people because a memory card fritzed out. You can watch our other short, "Alaskan Whaler" to get the story.

[@CradLeRcker]

oh man these awesome beards are too much

[@djdogjuam]

0:48 - That's a winner right there. Fucking wonderful. The moustache itself as an individual specimen, along with the fine gentleman it's attached to, perfect combination. A fine beard/moustache/both alone is not impressive. Look at 0:53, dull-as-dishwater looking chap there. He looks almost ashamed of his moustache, fucking disgraceful. You wear a moustache with pride. Or the fucking tramp at the very start of the video with his filthy unkept beard. He's proud of it, but he has not a thing to be proud of, that thing looks rotten. You look after a beard. For shame.

[@patrace]

That guy was cool. I forgot his name but he was there filming a documentary of some kind and decided to participate. I think he was a Canadian who couch surfed his way to Alaska for the competition.

[@clhwateva123]

@Eralen00 You do realise that in different countries (i.e. not The United States) they spell it Moustache?

[@muscled2hustle]

is it wrong that i find this entertaining ?

[@rednaxela011]

1:31 is simply wonderful!

[@goteampatrick]

Devon Holcombe and Sam Holcombe at 2:02. Yay. : )

[@AttackWithStyle]

I say old chap , truly spiffing beards & staches on display here

[@kallyfest]

At :45 is my favorite ,nice colours

[@t.least.he.is.honest]

Plese tell me if you think my beard is worth enetering New Styling for Beard compoetition

[@Moodo76]

Yay, we have hair on our faces. LETS FUCKING CELEBRATE!

[@JadyLester]

0:36 just kills me! "Aw, shucks." The best beards and 'staches *really* suit their faces and style. They're in no way "ironic."

[@TheHelado36]

54, with the Gatsby hat.............super !

[@shaunwalford8363]

I've been dying to have a stellar mustache! Alas, it won't be because my olympic pool depth philtrum won't grow hair!

[@SteamingSoda]

1:30 I just love how the girl has to kinda dig her way to his mouth

[@sniffableandirresistble]

3 months in now and I'm thinking hmmmmmm maybe that might be fun 2024 or 2025

[@JVThirstee]

where's the beard cage?

[@oneman7638]

I dont have time to have a job anymore.. i now spend 12 hours a day grooming myself 😂

[@back2thefutre]

Cool

[@Sheriff_K]

What I wouldn't give for one of those wizard beards!

[@rockindbeard9079]

Great beards and staches! One day

[@Coversbymonsters]

HOLY SHIT WALTER WHITE AT 52 SECS HAHAHAHA!

[@busterpiggle]

I wonder if Gandalf will be there this year. ;)

[@battlestump]

[@jonathanwoodham4165]

BILL GOLDEN OF THE OAK RIDGE BOYS WAS A CONTESTANT TOO...

[@ulyssesnorth6843]

no one beats Santa Claus at this, no one

[@detweiler94]

song´s name?

[@gator36]

269 should have won. He's the only guy with muttonchops, the true symbol of masculinity,

[@Captkillgame]

God damn it! This is one of the contest that I cannot even enter with my half-ass Fu Manchu / Catfish Whiskers. Although i saved lots of money and time since I only shave once a week.

[@Pearlharbor350]

Where's zz top? I'm gonna grow a wizard beard or a mountain man one.

[@LeGiiTWillie]

Well, damn. I live in Anchorage.

[@croatianwarmaster7872]

Fucking awesome beards lads!

[@blackhat2005]

My favorites are at 0:38, 1:11 and 1:35.

[@DeeTee79]

[@EnviousLegacy]

A good beard makes a man

[@ultraduckey]

[@pumpkin28ful]

holy shit

[@DownKrownKlown]

mine

[@deadlypendroppingby]

I wonder if there ever was someone who successfully cheatet his way into that with a fake beard :D 0:50 could be one of them ;P

[@WhiskerWars]

deadlypendroppingby that is a real mustache. I have inspected it personally.

[@yaroslavlyakutya326]

How to have more dense beard?

[@ProfessorKRD]

Eat Steak and fuck bitches

[@NoahSweeneyMLA]

Genetics play the biggest role but by just letting it grow 1 year you will see areas fill in and thicken.

[@alaskarobotics]

Which one are you?

[@David7ManUtd]

1:35 If I could grow a beard like that one...

[@Landyn99]

0:41 looks just like Teddy Roosevelt.. Fucking Bull-Moose Party!

[@TheSpiffyGamer]

2:41 The Beards!

[@alaskarobotics]

@ElectricMachin Heh heh.. My mom's beard. I'm pretty sure that's a different competition you're thinking of, this one is only for facial hair.

[@damiendavis.ezekiel5697]

I liked that first guy beard u till he swore. But man I don't know what to say about competitions.

[@Lolaezn]

2:20 big foot?

[@patrickstar564]

weres brian wilson????

[@BrentJansma]

Sounds like Final Fantasy VII music

[@baldnbearded]

And then the guy who won 1st place, immediately have it shaved off. WTF?

[@7329690653]

aah BEARD CHAMPIONS MY KIND OF men.

[@qetoun]

Is the use of hair growing steroids banned in this sport?

[@JimmyGrant74]

I would imagine it must also be some sort of record for the biggest number of wankers in one place too?

[@longliveharambe8415]

Gandalf?

[@christinthecartoon]

1:23 Gary Oldman ? :D

[@jennifer2563]

Like si estas a qui por Rene Perez Joglar :D C13

[@alaskarobotics]

The WBMC isn't about skin color, it's about beard color... but yeah, more of everyone would make the event better.

[@43blackknight]

that is sooo manly.!!
